Niklas Hagman put the puck past Miikka Kiprusoff in the eighth round of a shootout and the Anaheim Ducks beat Calgary 3-2 on Monday night for their 14th straight home victory over the Flames.

"He’s a goalie I have practiced a lot against," said Hagman, who has six goals and seven assists in 34 games with Anaheim since he was claimed off waivers from Calgary on Jan. 14. "I don’t have that many moves, and he knows my go-to moves. I tried to switch a little bit. I wanted to come with good speed and shoot it. Luckily for me, he probably thought I was going to go with my backhand." Bobby Ryan and Matt Beleskey gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead in the first period before Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay tied the game at 2-2.

Although Hagman isn't expected to stay on the fourth line, it is a reflection of how disappointing he's been this season. He has seven goals and 17 points in 41 games this season and has just one goal and five points in his last 17 contests. "Sometimes guys get in a rut," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "They just sort of need a wake-up call a little bit. When we put Beleskey on the fourth line about eight games ago or 10 games ago, he went ‘Whoa’. And then he started to really come on."

There was some hope that Hagman would be able to rebound after he was claimed off re-entry waivers by the Anaheim Ducks in mid-November. Unfortunately, while he has gotten a decent amount of playing time with Anaheim, he hasn't managed to emulate the scoring touch he had in Dallas and Toronto.

Coach Bruce Boudreau placed Niklas Hagman on the second line Friday as the Ducks now have a "Finnish Line".

Hagman was put alongside fellow countrymen Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne and the move paid off as the Ducks won for only the second time in nine games. Selanne scored and Koivu and Hagman each had an assist on Friday so if this arrangement works out, Hagman's fantasy value will be improved.

Niklas Hagman scored and assisted in the Anaheim Ducks' 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.

The winger will never be confused with a big-time goal scorer, but he does have four in his past five games after lighting the lamp twice in the 19 previous. The 32-year-old has 12 points on the year. Lubomir Visnovsky also had a goal and a helper for the second consecutive night to give him nine points in 21 games. Tony Lydman and Luca Sbisa each had helpers in the loss.

Niklas Hagman is projected to play on the top line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on Thursday.

Once Saku Koivu (groin) is healthy, Bobby Ryan might shift back from center to the left wing, which would push Hagman down in the depth charts. All the same, Hagman does have some short-term value, especially seeing as he has points in four of his last five contests.

Hagman has three goals and four points in 12 games since Anaheim claimed him off re-entry waivers. Rod Pelley and Kyle Palmieri each scored their first goals of the season. Corey Perry registered two assists.

Niklas Hagman made his Anaheim debut on Thursday, playing one second over ten minutes.

Hagman was claimed off re-entry waivers from Calgary on Monday but needed to get a new work visa to play in the United States and finally was able to obtain one on Thursday, allowing him to play. He saw action with Devante Smith-Pelly and Brandon McMillan. He's not worth picking up at this time.

Niklas Hagman needs to deal with visa issues before he can make his Ducks' debut.

Anaheim claimed Hagman off of re-entry waivers on Monday. He didn't have much fantasy value in Calgary because he was barely being used, but the Ducks could give him a fresh start. Keep an eye on this situation as he could end up on Anaheim's second line.

Calgary will still be responsible for half of Hagman's remaining $3 million cap hit. This could be a great opportunity for Hagman to rebound, as there's been an opening on the Ducks' second line ever since Jason Blake suffered a wrist injury. We don't know yet what Hagman's role with Anaheim will be, but we will keep a close eye on this situation.

Depth Charts

Ryan Getzlaf isn't happy with the officiating that the Ducks have been dealing with this season.

"It’s a frustrating time," Getzlaf said. "As players, we’re not sure what penalties are and what they aren’t. As the ebbs and flows of the game (go), it’s hard to understand what’s going on all the time and maintaining what we want to do to compete. I didn’t feel like anybody was in danger at any point on the ice but somehow there was 10 penalties or whatever there was. That’s not hockey. And that’s not allowing players to play and be themselves and compete." Getzlaf's reference to 10 penalties was in regards to how many minors (it was actually 11) that Anaheim took on Saturday, but that contest was hardly an isolated incident for the Ducks. The Ducks' 219 minor penalties this season are the highest in the league, so it's not surprising that the Ducks would be frustrated there. Anaheim is also just middle of the road when it comes to killing penalties too, so the Ducks either need to improve on special teams or find a way to cut down on the penalties.

Adam Henrique has scored six game-winning goals for the Ducks since Dec. 1.

That's the most in the NHL over that span. While he hasn't put up star numbers since being acquired by Anaheim, he has come through for them in the clutch. "He’s not overwhelmed by the situation," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "That’s the key. Comfort. When players seem to be able to find ways, when the intensity goes up, (where) it doesn’t alter the way they visualize the game. That’s a trait or a skill that separates them from other players. He has what people would call ice water in his veins when he has the puck in certain situations. Where other players would be panicking with the puck to slap it away. He can find people. He’s got a real high hockey IQ."

It appears as though Antoine Vermette will be back in the lineup on Tuesday.

Vermette was a healthy scratch two times last week and he has logged just over eight minutes of ice time in each of his last three appearances. Look for him to skate on the fourth line against Detroit if he plays.

The Anaheim Ducks will scratch Derek Grant on Tuesday night when they visit the Detroit Red Wings.

Grant has eight goals and eight assists for 16 points in 44 games this season with Anaheim. He has failed to score or record a single point in his last five games, with his last goal coming on January 2nd. He will be joined in the press box by Korbinian Holzer and Marcus Pettersson.

Rickard Rakell posted two assists with a plus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 win at Vegas.

Rakell also got on the board with two shots on goal, a blocked shot and two hits while winning his only faceoff attempt across 17:22 of ice time. The Swede has managed six goals with nine assists and a plus-7 rating over the past 12 outings dating back to Jan. 28. His breakout campaign continues and he remains a must-start fantasy option across the board.

It was the first time this campaign that the feisty winger had a multi-assist night. Ritchie has some offensive upside and with most power forwards, it takes some time until it shows up at the NHL level. He has 18 points in 51 games but four assists in his last five games.

Andrew Cogliano scored his 93rd goal as a member of the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday against the Rangers, moving into seventh on the team's all-time list.

Cogliano scored on a rush, beating Henrik Lundqvist to the glove side in a four-goal first period for the home team. It was his first goal since Dec. 23, snapping a nine-game goal drought. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Thursday's home game against the Jets.

Kerdiles is up with the Ducks as insurance because some players are dealing with injuries. However, it's unclear if he will play Tuesday night versus Buffalo. Kerdiles has eight goals and 19 points in 23 games with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL this season. He hasn't earned a point in three career matches with the Ducks, which includes two appearances in 2017-18.

Corey Perry has been on fire since coach Randy Carlyle demoted him to the fourth line.

Perry quickly returned to the top unit with Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell and has been scoring at his old pace with six points this week including a four assist night against Toronto on Monday. Perry scored again on Sunday but the goal was reversed upon review due to an offside. Perry has 11 goals and 32 points this season and should be active in most pools.

Jakob Silfverberg posted a goal with a plus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 win at Vegas.

Silfverberg also posted two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a hit across 19:01 of ice time. If you want to complain about something, he did lose his only faceoff attempt. The Swedish left winger snapped a six-game point drought and a nine-game goal skid dating back to Jan. 30 in Boston. He was promoted to the team's top scoring line in early February, but he failed to get on track. At this point he should remain reserved in all but the deepest of fantasy pools and hope that he can re-discover his scoring touch down the stretch.

J.T. Brown is skating on Anaheim's second line with Ryan Kesler and Jakob Silfverberg in Wednesday's game against the Penguins.

Brown took line rushes with those two forwards during the pre-game warmup, so it looks like he'll get a shot with them. He made his Ducks debut earlier this week after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay. Don't expect him to carry much fantasy value going forward.

Patrick Eaves may not return this season after being diagnosed with Gullain-Barre Syndrome.

Eaves last played on October 13 and has been undergoing treatment both in California and Florida for the muscle-weakening autoimmune disorder. He has been around the arena with teammates since the Ducks returned earlier this week from a road trip and while he is still out indefinitely, it looks more and more that it could be the remainder of the season.

Kase's goal tied the game at two at the 6:12 mark of the third period. The Ducks forward then added another tally in the shootout to make sure that his team managed to survive another round before teammate Nick Ritchie added the game-winner. Kase finished the night with a team-high six shots on goal in 17:12 of ice time. He's now accumulated nine points in his last seven games. The 22-year-old is up to 16 goals and 30 points in 43 games this season. Corey Perry also found the back of the net for the Ducks in regulation.

Dating back to Jan. 23 when that run started, Fowler is tied for first place among defensemen in points. He now has six goals and 24 points in 43 contests, which puts the possibility of him matching or surpassing his career-high of 40 points on the table. That being said, we still expect him to ultimately fall a bit short of that mark this season.

Francois Beauchemin will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers.

Korbinian Holzer will take his spot in the lineup. Beauchemin has two goals and seven assists in 40 games this season. It's the second time in five games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Derek Grant and Jared Boll will also watch the game from the press box.

Josh Manson picked up his fourth goal of the season in Monday's 2-0 road win against the Golden Knights.

Manson finished with a plsu-1 rating, one blocked shot and three hits over 20:13 of ice time. The veteran rearguard is normally known for the rough stuff and not so much for a deft scoring touch. His fantasy value remains limited to deeper pools at this point.

Kevin Bieksa will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars.

Bieksa has no goals, six assists and a minus-11 rating in 54 games this season. It's the second time in four games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Antoine Vermette will also join him in the press box.

Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was sending a message with his decision to scratch Brandon Montour on Tuesday.

Montour was coming off a minus-three night against New Jersey on Monday. "A coach’s decision is based upon what are your expectations of the player," Carlyle said of the decision to send Montour to the press box. "A minus-3 last night in New Jersey. I’ve instructed him that I don’t expect him to be a perfect hockey player. But I expect that he has to play defense first. And we need people that are going to commit to the system. I felt there was some areas that he needed to shore up. I told him so and that’s what goes into a coach’s decision. He’s a good player and he’s going to continue to be a good player. We believe that. This is a learning curve for a young player where you can’t just play the rover game." Look for Montour to draw back into the lineup on Thursday. He has six goals and 16 points in 33 contests.

Marcus Pettersson played in his second NHL game Saturday at the expense of Francois Beauchemin.

The Ducks like the former second round pick in 2014 and made Beauchemin a healthy scratch. Pettersson was a minus-one in only 11:46 of action as he was paired with Josh Manson when he saw the ice. "There’s some things that I think he showed," coach Randy Carlyle said of Pettersson’s debut. "He’s not intimidated. He can move the puck effectively. I think that he was nervous and that’ll bleed out of him the more opportunities he gets, the more reps he gets. I think the jury is still out. We’re going to give him an opportunity to have some ice time and to play and join our group. We’ll see how that plays out as we go forward. But it’s basically on a game-to-game basis." He had 14 assists in 44 AHL games so don't look for a lot of offensive upside at this time.

John Gibson sustained a lower-body injury on Monday and didn't practice on Tuesday. As a result, Miller is temporarily the Ducks' de facto starting goaltender. Gibson has dealt with more than his fair share of injury problems this season, which has led to the Ducks leaning on Miller more than they would have anticipated.
